Comment on Xonar D2X – (Really) low analogue sound output FIX by Alan

Thanks, this was exactly the problem with mine as well. I just pushed the white shell back towards the bend in the onboard power pins and made sure the power connector was fully seated. I’m glad I had turned the computer speaker volume all the way down before checking the results!

I was having the same problem, and noticed the loose connector months ago. I ended up brushing it off until today. I did a quick search, found this page, and had my card up and running in less than 15 minutes! Thanks!

I had only 0.5mb broadband DOWNLOAD speed for over 3 months.
My line is with BT and my broadband is NOT with BT.
BT blame my BB service provider and my service provider blaimes BT, I am left taking a gamble who to fault and the gamble should I move my BT line to BB service provider or vise versa, a gamble I could end up with ALL MY FAULTS WITH ONE PROVIDER.

Pity customer service and sales who customers can get through to do not know about 17070.

thanks for this, it was exactly the solution for the problem i was having (low noise from Xonar D2X when connected via analogue.

I actually got an uprated floppy connector and plugged it straight into the power supply for straight through power too.

cheers.

Hi Neb – I know I’m late replying, sorry.

It’s normally the Orange and White pair. The other two wires are a seperate pair incase you ever require a second phone line.

White is considered “A” and orange is considered “B” when wiring to a master socket.

I’d just like to say I am not in any way affiliated with Andrews and Arnolds – it’s just that most questions on here are broadband faults and they are genuinely the best people I know to help you.

I should be on commission though

Hi Richard. The fastest method I know of would be to immediatley switch your broadband to Andrews and Arnolds (www.aaisp.net.uk) and speak to their tech guys. I’d give them a call – they even have some offer where you don’t pay anything if they can’t fix your fault.

Hi, We experienced very loud crackling 10 days ago, followed by a dead line. I have run the usual tests with two different basic telephone apparati straight into the test socket. Our telecoms reseller’s call centre just give us the same blandishments each day about an exchange fault under repair, but a BT engineer I know tells me it can’t be, and is almost certainly a fault between us and the road. We run a small business from home so are desperate; I am now working in my fourth borrowed office space. Unfortunately our line rental is also with the reseller. How can we apply pressure to get this fixed, or at least get a sensible date? Thanks, Richard.

thanks for the advice. the engineer came this morning and fitted new cable where it enters my property. he diagnosed noise on the line, and told me how much prssure they are under… all the problem i’ve had have been at the so-called customer service end. i think it’s all sorted now.
